Ten worst games : Tue Dec 03, 2019 8:30 am  

Just looking back at the Wally Lewis thread brought to mind some awful disappointments over the years both home and away. For me the two low lights were that Maurice Bamford inspired defeat in the challenge cup at thrum hall by Halifax when we were one of the fancied teams. The other being away at Keighley when we had I think 3-4 players sent off including the then captain/coach Geoff wraith for a clothes line tackle that would have graced the wrestling.

Any others ?

Three that stick in my mind are:

London away 2005.
Wire at home after been 20 points up at half time.
Catalans in the play offs in 2009.

Whitehaven at home in the cup. The lowest of the low for me.

Way too many disappointments to mention.
Getting beat at Huddersfield, when we were riding high at the top of the league and they had only won 1 game ?, over 3000 Trinity fans filled the stand at one end of the ground and we got mullered. Although getting beaten at their place was a regular event, there was no way that we should have got done by that side.
Cant remember which season it was 6/7 years ago ?
Also losing to Catalan at home in the play offs.

And more recently, losing to Saints to miss out on a semi final play off when Grix messed up at the back - not the worst game as we were within millimetres of winning but, an awful result.

Plus the 2 games at London last season

As I said, there are so many, it's part of being a Trinity fan.

Roll on 2020 - onwards and upwards for The Mighty Trin !

God aye! The Grix game was a nighmare. Worse than the "Denley" during yesterdays Cricket Test Match v New Zealand and that was called the worst dropped catch ever since time began by many.

Also losing to Halifax at Odsall in the John Player Cup Final.

London away 1st game up last season doesn't come much worse.

Surely no1 has to be the 80-0 away at Warrington?

The drubbing by Cas around the time of SL beginning, was it 85-0?

That was the week after we were told we weren’t included in SL and we just gave up.

Huddersfield Sheffield away in 2000. Think we were about 2 - 32 up at half time, and went on to lose 35 - 34. My Dad didn't speak a word in the car on the drive home!
